Highly recommended

I recently worked with Chris on a legal matter and highly recommend him. He was professional, helpful, communicative and able to solve the issue creatively and quickly.

Excellent and Professional

My husband and I contacted Attorney Mutimer after being wrongfully arrest for what the police claimed to be resisting arrest but before charges were officially filed and it was the best decision we made! Chris immediately began working on our case and stayed in contact with us throughout the whole pr...ocess while we awaited court. Before court even happened, the charges were dropped and we firmly believe this is because Chris was able to do some work on our behalf! He is extremely down to earth, professional, and responsive. We appreciate all of his hard work and would recommend him to anyone!

Case dismissed as strategically planned

I had the opportunity of working with Christopher. He's very professional, knowledgeable and resourceful. He came highly recommended. I had a criminal case which if convicted could have affected my security clearance which in return would've affected my career. He walked me step be step through ...the case and the strategy. Not only is he very professional, open door policy but he also has resources that can help with your case. Trust me I was very worried and concerned about how it all would end but Chris was very supportive and reassuring that everything was going to be fine. Needless to say that his confidence was so strong that he immediately proposed we go to trial. I was a little skeptical about that, but his confidence bought me. We went to trial and my case got dismissed. I get to keep my clearance, my career and a hell of a good lawyer. Thanks Chris. You rock!
